National Certificate in Compliance and Regulatory Control (Local Government Committee Management) [Ref: 0959]

National Certificate in Compliance and Regulatory Control (Rates Management) [Ref: 1238]

 

The Skills Organisation has revised the qualifications listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          October 2013

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place as part of a mandatory review during 2013-2014.

 

Reason for the revision

 

The above qualifications are being revised as they contain expired and expiring standards.  This revision will ensure they remain achievable until registration of replacement qualifications after the mandatory review of qualifications in the Public Sector scheduled to begin in quarter 3 of 2013 and conclude in 2014.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

Expiring and expired standards were removed and replaced where relevant and reverse transition was added to allow people to complete Version 1 of both qualifications.

 

National Certificate in Compliance and Regulatory Control (Local Government Committee Management) [Ref: 0959]

 

Changes to structure and content:

•    Elective credit requirements reduced from 28 credits to 26 credits to maintain the qualification total.

•    Expired unit standards 129, 7454, 9674, 9700, and 19421 were removed from the qualification.

•    Unit standard classifications, titles and credit values were updated to reflect changes following unit standard reviews.

•    Reverse transition arrangements were added to allow people flexibility to complete Version 1 of the qualification.

 

Transition

 

People currently working towards Version 1 of Q0959 may either complete the requirements of that version or transfer their results to the new version.

 

This qualification contains unit standards that replace earlier standards.  For the purposes of this qualification, people who have gained credit for any of the expiring standards will be exempt from the requirement to gain credit for the replacement standards – see table below.
